Answer:

The length of the object would shrink to zero which is not possible.

Explanation:

A rocket or any body cannot reach the speed of light because according to theory of relativity the and the Lorentz factor the length of the object would shrink to zero and the time dilation for that body would be infinite.

The Lorentz factor is given as:

$\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

where:

v = speed of the moving object

c = speed of light

at t=T/6, total distance covered= 2*pi*r/6 and displacement= r

difference of them = 2*t
so, 2*pi*r/6- r =2(1/6)=1/3

r=1/(pi-3)=7.062

14. The real risk-free rate of interest is 2%. Inflation is expected to be 3.5% the next 2 years and 6% during the next 3 years

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

3-year = 6.33%

5-year = 7%

Explanation:

Yield in security = Risk free rate + Maturity risk premium + Inflation premium + Liquidity premium + Default risk premium

Maturity risk premium is given as 0

Yield on 3-year treasury securities is 2 + [(3.5 + 3.5 + 6) / 3] + 0

= 6.33%

Yield on 5-year treasury securities is 2 + [(3.5 + 3.5 + 6 + 6 + 6) / 5] + 0

=7%

Which wave lies adjacent to the low frequency portion of the visible spectrum

fgiga [73]

Answer: b. infrared

Explanation:

The visible light with the smaller frequency is associated with the color red.

While the blue is the one with the larger frequency.

Now, as the name says, infrared waves are the ones with a frequency just below the one of the red visible light.

Where the frequency of the red light is something around (4.3*10^14 Hz)

and the frequency of the infrared waves is in the range between (10^12 Hz and 10^14 Hz)

Then the correct option is b, infrared.
